  • 147 slightly differently here:

    8 - 1 = 7

    7 * 7 = 49

    49 - 2 = 47

    47 + 100 + 147

    What a fantastic game this was, and the closing music from the 80s is a treat to listen to.

  • What a great surname she had for a while considering what she did!

  • I know what the Countdown Conundrum is. Its Fantastic. haha I guessed it.....

  • IGNORANT KEITH. Glad you lost.

  • 8+2*4+7+100=147

    

  • was that a repeat?

  • 2 + 4 = 6

    6 * 8 = 48

    48 - 1 =47

    100 + 47 = 147

  • 2*100= 200

    7*8= 56

    200-56= 144

    144+4= 148

    148-1= 147

  • your ways are too long.It's like driving all around the houses instead of going straight to the destination!

    all you need to do to get the answer is 4 plus 2 = 6 multipled by 8 = 48 minus 1 = 47 and finally 47 plus 100 =147

  • It's quite remarkable that despite the nine-round format continuing for another 14 years, Stephen's score was never beaten (though Allan Saldanha equalled it on 21 November 1996, during the Supreme Championship).

    John Snedden would have scored 90 on 21 January 2000 had he not somehow succeeded in blobbing an easy conundrum, while the match of 18 June 1999 had a possible final score of 104, thanks to three nine-letter words...

  • anotherway of doing 147:

    8x7=56,

    2x4=8,

    8+1=9,

    56-9=47,

    47+100=147.

  • I did it slightly different too, although I did hear his 4+1 before doing this:

    7x8=56

    56-1=55

    2x4=8

    55-8=47

    100=47=147.
